Boulevard wins World Series bet with Brooklyn Brewery
Last week, Brooklyn Brewery challenged Boulevard Brewing Co. to a World Series wager.
The stakes were high: The losing city’s brewery would have to pour beer from the winning city’s brewery for a week. The New York brewery seemed pretty confident on Oct. 27, the day the World Series started.

@Boulevard_Beer v @BrooklynBrewery World Series bet: Tough thing: Somebody will cry in somebody else's beer.
— Steve Hindy (@SteveKHindy) November 1, 2015After the Royals took the crown, the New York brewery sent this congratulatory tweet.
Sometimes ya gotta believe, and sometimes you just need a stiff drink. It was a good run, @Boulevard_Beer! What are we toasting with?
— The Brooklyn Brewery (@BrooklynBrewery) November 2, 2015Boulevard returned the favor along with some Kansas City-brewed beer.
